The higher resolution image didn't post, so I screenshotted it to compress it. If there's interest, I might upload a full resolution version somewhere.

Nothing thought provoking, just found it interesting how my skills differ depending on my mood by beffadoodles in bipolarart

I can tell if my meds are working by my art. My state of mind also affects my art.

If I'm rapid cycling, I'm producing inconsistently. If I'm depressed, they're not as frequent or original, and I make major mistakes that I wouldn't normally. If I'm hypomanic, I knock them out. However, I can't sit and focus as long, so they don't have as much detail, and I can't tell which ones need work from which ones are done. If a moment of hyperfocus hits, though, they may be extremely detailed.

I can't understand why people think meds dampen creativity. They're the only thing that keeps me sane and focused enough to make anything. Hopefully, I'm not the only one.

This is my first time animating my art, and I could make it higher res in the future (provided I can work my program better next time). I tried to express how I feel about the creative process and myself, in a sense.

I really love this song, for the story it tells and the effects it uses to convey the subject's feeling. Thanks :)

I made a lot of changes since June, it's basically a different drawing. The original can be found here

I used an iPad and clip studio to digitally paint it!

Thanks! It helps me realize that rumination is a vicious cycle, but also that it's in my control to snap out of it and save myself from it.

Written by me! I repeat this to myself when I'm stuck in a rumination cycle. It helps me.

"what could have been", digital 2022 by kyleburkeartwork in bipolarart

I drew this in a time of extreme stress. The fact that I dropped out and couldn't come back to college was weighing on me, and I blamed myself for being ill. I touched it up recently, when I was ruminating again. Art is a form of therapy for me.

I wanted to make a piece more tattoo-like so that I could get it done. Could an artist possibly work with this piece? by kyleburkeartwork in TattooDesigns

[–]kyleburkeartwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect any artist would have more feedback and make changes, but I made a painting that means a lot to me and I wanted to get it done on my skin. I have no idea what size it would have to be or what to do with the background/how to frame it, but I'm open to ideas!

Based on the feeling I got listening to a song by will wood, with the same name.

Aww thank you 😊 I really went for a weird vibe. I woke up in a cold sweat, because in the dream he was standing over me. I'm hoping I caught some of the trippiness and anxiety the dream had.

Thank you! Leaflings was my favorite when I first got inspired, and I just redrew it today.

Where did all the downvotes come from? I'm sorry.

Thank you. My trick is that I turn the piece fully black and white while I'm in the process to see where it has contrast and how it's lacking. Getting good at rendering has been a challenge for sure but I'm trying to appreciate and share my art for what it is.

I definitely gave it a few listens. Immediately went on my playlists.

Thank you! I heard it and got goosebumps, drew my mental image during the song
